Hello! My name is Maya Ohayon and I am a 21 year old college student who loves to bake. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered this new hobby. Due to chronic illness, I had to completely change my diet from a typical college one, to a low carb paleo diet. This was not an easy switch, but nothing about having a chronic illness is easy. For some background, I was attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and majoring in songwriting. It had always been my dream to go there and pursue music. During my junior year I became sick, had to drop the semester, and am currently focusing on my health.
During this period of healing, I have discovered the wonders of baking. My cravings for sugary junk food never truly went away, so I decided to take matters into my own hands by creating recipes that I could enjoy. I first tried out a cookie recipe, and at the time of the bake I had pretty much completely forgotten what cookies tasted like. I almost cried of joy after the first bite.
A little more about me. I am from Seattle, Washington and besides music I love to practice yoga, play with my dogs, and go on walks with my boyfriend Alex. I am also a passionate artist who loves to draw and paint. My journey to discovering healthy food as an integral part of overall health has been an eye-opening experience. I have learnt so much and discovered a lot of great resources, so I hope you enjoy my recipes!
Love, Maya.
